exactly my thoughts. thanks for writing these and saving me from the troubleYour reason for stating that Byakuya > Yoruichi has no support whatsoever.
The fact that Yoruichi wore armor that Urahara invented doesn't take anything away from her. Did Byakuya fight against Aizen? No. So where exactly is the basis for your comparison? You don't judge people by comparing things that don't have anything to do with each other. Yoruichi actually damaged Aizen's crystallis form. Byakuya on the other hand wouldn't have been able to make a dent.
Yoruichi is a master Hakuda user and one of the fastest beings in Soul Society - known as the Goddess of Flash. She's proven her superiority in this area against Byakuya on several occasions. Byakuya even resorted to using techniques that he learned from her. To top it off she's also a master assassin that can kill most people before they even know what hit them. Combine her hand-to-hand techniques with her Shunko and she's damn near unstoppable.
Yoruichi also has 100+ years (bare minimum) more experience than Byakuya does and who knows how long she served as a Captain before the flashback chapters.
Lastly, Yoruichi is a Shinigami. That means she has a zanpaktou (Please don't be a moron and ask me to show it to you...). She just opts not to use it because she prefers Hakuda. In the case that she actually got cornered there is absolutely nothing stopping her from using her zanpaktou which is likely her trump card. Stop underestimating Yoruichi. Your mere attempt at Byakuya > Yoruichi is painful.
No matter how you look at it Yoruichi is stronger than Byakuya for more than just a few reasons. He is an average-class Captain. Above them are the Vizards, and above them are the rogues (Urahara, Yoruichi, Isshin, etc.), and above them are the Veterans. Byakuya is strong, but compared to Yoruichi he is still a kid, relatively speaking.
shape didn't change but he used getsuga tensho. so it must be in shikai form. it may be similar to ichigo, always in shikai form or there may be something else behind it.Actually Isshin wasn't using Shikai he was using his normal zanpaktou shape but we do know it's name. Engetsu.
